reminded me that not everyone is aware that you can open image files in Emacs so I thought I’d share the knowledge. If you like, it’s easy to switch back and forth to a hex representation.
Of course, this works only with GUI Emacs although you should almost certainly be using GUI Emacs instead of the terminal version anyway (but see Phil’s comment for a situation where terminal Emacs makes sense).
It’s just another reminder of how powerful Emacs is for most text-based tasks and even some tasks that aren’t text-based.
